National Register of Historic Places Program

The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources.

The Durant Illinois Central Railroad Depot in Durant, Holmes County, Mississippi, is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places for local significance under Criterion A for association with Transportation. The depot, constructed in L 909, served as a passenger and freight depot that connected Durant and the surrounding areas with the rest of the state and beyond.

Properties are listed in the National Register of Historic Places under four criteria: A, B, C, and D. For information on what these criterion are and how they are applied, please see our Bulletin on How to Apply the National Register Criteria
